GOA threshold maps
GOA threshold maps
Emily:
Can you make a spatial map of the MHW temperature threshold (90th percentile - climatology) for each location (across both ESR regions)? This may vary over time, so maybe an annual mean, and then the mean difference for each of the 4 seasons?
Similarly, can you plot what the 90th percentile temperature is at each location?
Data:
climatology used for coral reef watch’s cell by cell mhw calculations is available from NESDIS. I just downloaded that rather than recalculating from AKFIN.
Processing
1) inner join with crw lkp table and save as RDS
2) combine into a big data frame
3) Calculate season
4) Group the daily heatwave data for the GOA by adfg stat area and week
